I never heard of this before but EA is charging just to play (local) 2 player on Skate 3. I thought I had seen the lowest depths of the DLC but i guess not. It won't be long till they charge us for patching.

Haha, oh man, that really sucks.

You mean online pass? If you buy used you can't play multiplayer until you buy a serial key. This has been going on for years now on consoles, and was always standard on PC.

Unless you mean something else?

I guess I should of been clearer, to play local 2 player!!!!!! I was blown away.

Honestly, I don't see this as an issue.

What people seem to forget is that DLC is a smaller, cheaper, digitally attained version of an expansion pack.

Way back when, people fronted, what, $40 for the Brood War expansion to Starcraft that literally only gave like 3-4 new units to each race and a new campaign which pretty much means a few more player vs AI maps with a story loosely tacked on. And they were happy to pay it!

And now, when they're asked to pay $5 for a more prominent feature that comes out 2 years after the game is released (and expansion packs are usually still being released at that point), they're complaining about it.

I just think it's odd.

EDIT: I also think it's odd that less people complain about paying $5 for 3 new outfits than they do about paying $5 for a multiplayer expansion. :P

I guess after playing the first skate and local 2 player was in it, I assumed a third skate would be bigger and bolder not sliced up. Not a big deal it was 6 dollars I was just surprised.
